Hello. I'm on Methotrexate for my Rheumatoid Arthritis and my Dr writes me two 2mg of folic acid to reduce the side effects. I ran out of my script because my Pharmacy ran out and has not gotten them in yet. This has been over a week. I'm experiencing side effects and bought otc folic acid. The highest dose is 450 micrograms. How many of the microgram pills do i need to take to make 4 milligrams? Please help me. The worst side effects are blisters on my face that pop and make me look like I got burnt or pick my skin off, etc.

Hello, Teresa, how are you doing?
It takes 1,000 micrograms to equal 1mg, so you'd need 4,000 micrograms to equal the 4mgs. That 8.888_ tablets at the 450 microgram dosage.
However, before taking that many, you should double check with your doctor, or pharmacist to make sure it is safe for you to do it this way.
